Carl Kasell & Peter Sagal by davekaleta on Flickr.
although the story is bittersweet, it does speak to idea of anticipating the full light & energy of real love, and that is why I thought this might be a good video to share on Imbolc, the second Sabbat of the Wiccan Wheel of the Year - it’s recognizing the seed, knowing if we nurture it just a bit longer, it will grow into something magical - new life, the return of the Sun - it’s Brigid’s holiday - she was the Lightbringer - for me, she is a Goddess of Hope & Faith
the kid in Touch would love JoCo’s song, I think LOL
and this video showing how this bad ass fractal forms is freaking sweet, too :D
Did you feel that? A tremor in the LEGO Star Wars Force? Or was it a RING?
LEGO’s site is sadly lacking on deets, right now, except that these Lordly blocks will be hitting shelves in the Summer of 2012; but io9 supplied a few more bits of tid & some speculated/leaked sets.

Neil Gaiman and HarperCollins are beginning a fiendishly delightful Halloween tradition, beginning now: All Hallow’s Read. The premise is simple: give a scary story – a wonderful, soul-shivering tale of terror, or a humorous, playful monstrous romp of a read – to someone you love, or someone you like, or someone you’ve never even met, [...]

Terri Garey gave this Geek Gyrl the all clear to share a bowl of forbidden fruit with fellow gothic geeks, with the release of her next book’s cover AND and excerpt. I know, right? Feel free to squee, now, and remember…sometimes, it’s really good to be the geek. So, without any more ado (not that [...]
New to our American shores, but long loved in Australia, Kylie Chan’s Dark Heavens trilogy, makes its debut this month, with the release of the first book, White Tiger. This book could be summed up as Chinese mythology meets contemporary urban fantasy. Dark Heavens is truly a breath of fresh air (and water, if you’re counting Chinese elementals) [...]
I had the enviable task of talking with the talented Cherie Priest, recently, about her involvement with the recently released The Thackery T. Lambshead Cabinet of Curiosities: Exhibits, Oddities, Images, and Stories from Top Authors and Artists, her forthcoming second novel in the Cheshire Red Reports series, Hellbent; and her progress on her wildly popular [...]
I must admit, I did not come to this reading as an objective reviewer – I am a long time fan of Ms. Carriger’s delightful steampunk world. I also must admit, this isn’t the first time I’ve written about her Parasol Protectorate, here on GSB. Last November, I offered up a “series to date” review of [...]
Heads up, fans of Jeaniene Frost’s Night Huntress series…Avon Impulse just gave us a sweet summer treat to beat the heat, when we hit the beach…or pool…or just the couch. Today saw the release of her novella, Happily Never After, as a stand alone purchase, for the bargain price of $1.99. Originally published in the [...]
Many thanks to our guest, today, Professor Randolph Lyall. He comes direct from Gail Carriger’s London, in her deliciously entertaining steampunk series, The Parasol Protectorate. GSB: I know your time is precious, so I’ll jump right in, if you’ll forgive me bypassing the usual niceties. For anyone who may not yet be acquainted with …
